Tips & tricks

Parallel sessions or subaccounts. Two ways to run several events simultaneously

If you’re working alone, you’ll have to accept this fact: you won’t split yourself in two (although we have a way to do that, which I’ll talk about in more detail in a moment). But if you’re teaming up with more people, such as lecturers at your language school or trainers running courses at your company, the possibilities definitely increase. Of course, the needs also grow.

In such a scenario, the ability to organize several events at the same time will certainly come in handy. And you can do this via ClickMeeting!

Let me tell you more: you can achieve this goal in two different ways. Keep reading to see how it works!

More than one event? It’s possible!

Creating webinars and meetings on ClickMeeting is really easy, you certainly know that.

But if you want to create several events to be held at the same time, you will run into a problem:

In such a situation, the new event simply cannot take place.

What can you do?

  • Reschedule the event: you can, of course, move the webinar or meeting so that it does not conflict with previously created events. This is an easy solution, but it’s certainly not ideal. After all, you have to give up something.
  • Use parallel sessions or sub-accounts: a better solution would be to choose one of the two add-ons, which lets you create more events at the same time. Below I will show you how they differ.

What are parallel events?

Actually, not much explanation is needed here. As the name suggests, parallel events allow you to create more events at the same time. How many?

As you can see, you can buy up to 5 parallel sessions at a time, but there is nothing to prevent you from using this option several times. We have not provided a maximum limit for the events you can run simultaneously using this add-on.

Okay, parallel events bought. What’s next? Now you can, of course, organize your webinars or meetings. In this respect, nothing changes – just specify when they should take place.

But who can host them? There are two options:

  • Your colleagues: you get up to three multilogins within your account. That’s how many people besides you can log in and run events. At no additional charge.
  • Automation: if you use one of the Automated plans, you can also create automated webinars. The event, which can be based, for example, on a recording of a previous webinar or other video, will start automatically at the indicated time and will be available to your attendees. They don’t even need to know that you are not live with them.

With this video you will learn how they work:

When are parallel events a good choice?

Let’s say you run a small training company where, in addition to you, three of your closest associates provide training. You don’t need a separate file space, because you largely use the same documents, and besides, there are relatively few of them, and finding the right presentation or pdf file doesn’t cause much trouble. You also do not have problems sharing an account, because the number of events taking place simultaneously is not large.

The scenario may also look different:

You are an expert running online courses. On the one hand, you organize practical workshops, which, of course, must be held live, and on the other hand, you hold theoretical lectures. You can make them available in the form of automated webinars. There’s nothing stopping one group from familiarizing themselves with theory while you’re providing practical classes for another group.

If this is an option for you, click on the button below to purchase the add-on and start creating parallel events!

What are the subaccounts based on?

What about a situation where you are collaborating with more people and/or want to give the other users more autonomy?

In that case, subaccounts are the solution.

These are simply independent accounts that have their own space for files and recordings, separate settings and, of course, the ability to create events. At the same time, as the owner of the main account, you maintain full control over billing and expenses.

When are subaccounts the best choice?

A good example is a language school that employs multiple teachers and teaches multiple groups. Lecturers teach different languages and, therefore, use different materials. And there can really be a lot of these. In addition, the lecturers also run consultations in addition to standard classes and need more flexible access to their accounts. With subaccounts you avoid chaos: each employee of your school personally manages events and their virtual room. On the other hand, you keep control over it.

It can also look different:

You independently run a company offering online courses. You want to provide your audience with the most personalized knowledge acquisition possible, so you provide most of your content in the form of on-demand and paid automated webinars. But in addition to that, you also offer live consultations. So it will be a great idea to use two accounts at the same time – the primary one will be based on an Automated plan tailored to your expected room size, and the sub-account will be, for example, a smaller Live account, where you will primarily meet live with your clients.

If this is the option for you, click the button below to buy subaccounts and operate on a larger scale!
